Am i missing something or is there supposed to be something behind those

Yes. They use a very sturdy and wide rim strip. Bonus points if the
rim strip is a nice bright color.

Meh, that's not much different from the Try-All rim, and at least the
try-all comes in 19". In the end drilled rims are weaker, but if you
don't need the extra strength, they can be good. The try-all also has
what appears to be a better, stronger profile.

In case it aint obvious, I lam biased a bit in favor of the rim i use.

BTW, John is right, they have super wide rim strips. Still, there is
some bulge factor, but it just makes the tire a bit mroe squishy, which
is nice.

the thick rim strip you have to use must add to some of the weight you
just lost by drillin those holes

Seems very shallow i.e. not much distance between the two layers, but
that might be because the rim is much wider than normal, 48mm seems a
nice compromise between the DX-32 and the large marge (64mm), sounds
like a great Muni rim that would give better tyre support than the DX-32
and still be light. Does the Try-All come in 24" and 26"?
